Management in school is about managing people. The management in school is concerned with managing adults so that the work gets done. Four areas of managing people: 1. lead and motivate staff 2. delegate effectively 3. deal effectively with staff problems 4. have knowledge of relevant legislation.

3 important concepts of human behavior:
(3)Employees must be included in all parts of the process, every step of the way. Teamwork is the key here, not hierarchy. (2) People must be treated as individuals. Always acknowledge their importance and show them respect. They are people first employees second. (3) Superior work must be encouraged, recognized and awarded. Everyone responds to expectations. If you treat people as if they are capable and smart – and get out of the way – that’s exactly how they will perform.

INCLUDE PEOPLE Leaders create teams. They don’t issue orders from above. Leaders realize that the employees who actually do the work can actually make decisions. (Eg Analisis kelas kb)

You can’t motivate other people…. But you can provide the stimulus for them to motivate themselves!

Leaders do not bribe or threaten or cajole the people who worked for them. They show the employees they are willing to take risks, encouraging them to do the same. A leader talks and lives the vision, twenty four hours a day.

Leaders must Motivate people • Leaders must take the time to enroll people in your thinking, your vision, your dream, your fantasy, whatever it is you are doing. Enroll them. • It takes time. It takes effort. It takes continual reinforcement. But you dont dictate. You enroll. • As a leader you make them to want to come along. You ride. You go.The point is that you are riding. And they want to ride along.

If you enroll one person, then you have a metamorphosis. You change someone, and that person becomes able to enroll ten people. They then become able to enroll a hundred people. (Mula-mula cikgu-cikgu kata ‘puan, you are asking for the impossible’. But after 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 10th, 20th, 30th days, they saw that it’s not a statement. It’s a way of life)

It’s a leader’s job to foster those feelings “We are in this together” “We are part of a team” “What we do is valuable” “We are the Best” That is the soil that real motivation grows in.

Real motivation will never flow from financial inducements alone, or for that matter, from a fear of being fired. DISCUSS (gaji sebagai motivator?) Fear is just as poor a motivator.

“There is only one way under heaven to get anybody to do anything and that is by making the other person want to do it. Remember there is no other way” (Dale Carnegie. The Leader in You)

So what do people want? Kajian di kalangan employers….. Kajian di kalangan employees….

So what do people want?
Health and the preservation of life. Food. Sleep. Money and the things money buy. Life in the hereafter. Sexual gratification. Well being of our children. A feeling of importance. Paling sukar dicapai: Freud : ‘desire to be great’ Dewey: ‘desire to be important’

Motivating people Give someone a real sense of purpose, the feeling that he or she is working for a valuable, mutually important goal. That’s where true motivation comes from, not just motivation to work

Give them the freedom to work as they see fit, and convey your belief in their abilities by getting out of the way. Example: ‘well, you know better than me –’ ‘ you know what’s best for the students’ ‘I’m not a Physic’s major – u know better!’ ‘Buatlah apa yang cikgu rasa patut- yang penting ia memanfaatkan pelajar / resultsya bagus’ Show people that you trust, respect, and care about them. Do that and you will be surrounded by motivated people.

People can never be forced to do an extra ordinary job. They will perform extra ordinarily only if they want to. The challenge is giving them a reason to want to. Arouse in the other person an eager want

Treat people with dignity. Communicate corporate values they can believe in. Give your employees the autonomy to decide how to get job done. People will only want to perform excellently if they feel like an important part of the organization. Employees need to be respected and included in a corporate vision they can embrace. That,s why their successes need to be rewarded, raised, and celebrated

Seorang pemimpin mesti mempunyai visi & misi yang jelas.

•Establish a real vision and a sense of values for the organizations they wish to lead.

Finding meaning and purpose in our workthe key to both personal fulfillment and professional success

A leader establishes standards and then stick to them. Well-focused, self-confident leadership is what turns a vision into reality.

Latih guru & kakitangan kita supaya mempunyai visi & misi yang positif If you don’t seek perfection, you can never reach excellence. Once you say you’re going to settle for second, that’s what happens to you in life. Be aware that the only ceiling life has is the one you give it. Nobody is a failure unless he consents to be one.

GURU DIBERI SUNTIKAN SEMANGAT SUPAYA … Have a dream, a big dream. You will never go any higher than you can dream. But you can go as high as you dream if you work at it, believe in it, and stick to it.

Williom J Hendersen (Post master General, US Postal Service) Buku: Wisdom of CEO “If you set high targets, people will strive to reach them, though it may seem impossible to many”. We have to raise the bench mark every year, Reach our goals, celebrate, And raise the bar again!

Ciri Pemimpin – mesra & berilmu
Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them. As a leader, we must live and move beyond where the people are. If the people are to follow you, ... You must be ahead of them.

PEMIMPIN = AMANAH ALLAH

A leader must go beyond being a peoplepleaser to being a God-pleaser. If our need for the people’s affirmation exceeds our need for God’s affirmation, we’re in trouble.
- Ken Blanchard.1999. The Heart of a Leader.

Leadership sometimes doing what’s unpopular. A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships were built for.

YOU CAN’T SEE THE FINAL DESTINATION, IT’S A MATTER OF MOVING FORWARD, TRUSTING THAT GOD IS LEADING YOU ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.

Become interested in your people (teachers & students) and let them know that you are. Treat people like people. Be nice to your people and treat them with respect. Invest liberally in your people , and don’t expect this automatically to produce new results. Enhance human resources by establishing new extreme-type expectations for your people.

Get to know your people. They should be treated like family members. You cant expect people to do things that you wouldn’t do yourself. You’ve got to care about them sincerely. Then you can get the same level of respect back

Acknowledge a job well done. Don’t just expect it. There’s a little child in every one of us, waiting to be praised. So don’t forget: people want to be told when they have done a good job. Use praise liberally and often.

Let people in your life know that you respect them, that you appreciate their work, that they are important to you and that you want them to learn, grow, and reach their potential. MOTIVATION CAN NEVER BE FORCED. PEOPLE HAVE TO WANT TO DO A GOOD JOB

• Dealing with people is like digging gold: When you go looking for gold, you have to move tons of dirt to get an ounce of gold. But when you go looking, you don’t go looking for the dirt, you go looking for the gold.

We cant choose the direction of the wind, but we can choose how we set our sail.
